The Lebanese Organization for Studies and Training

Established in 1998, the Lebanese Organization of Studies and Training (LOST) focuses on developing the ultra-conservative and underdeveloped communities of the Republic of Lebanon socially, politically and economically via programs to build and enhance communal capacity, to educate and train youth and women on matters of civic and intellectual nature and to engage them in civic affairs. The ultimate objective yet is creating a democratic and peaceful society where rule of law, justice, liberty and economic wellbeing are customary.
LOST’s programming focuses on developing the intellectual capital of the local society via programs for youth, women and kids. Since its inception, LOST has managed over USD 10 Million in community development projects funded by numerous international organizations and government institutions including but not limited to the World Bank, UNDP, UNICEF, UNHCR, Embassy of the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Switzerland, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Action Aid Denmark, GIZ (Germany), Danish Refugee Council (DRC), Mercy Corps, Search for Common Grounds (SFCG), Canada Fund, MCC, Forum ZFD, ZIVIK among many others
